“Gaza: Preparing for Dawn”

Donald Macintyre, veteran journalist and author of the recent book, “Gaza: Preparing for Dawn,” will share his insights from decades of work covering the Gaza Strip for The Independent, and more recent reflections on how Palestinians in Gaza are surviving the deepening humanitarian and political crises. Macintyre’s work also touches on what might be possible for Gaza and the people who live there, and the role that international actors must play.
